What kind of sights/things hit you deeply?

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

TBH the fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time



Slightly plagiarised post

You hit the nail on head there.

Nah you're straight up lying to yourself here. When you were not existing before being born you obviously didn't feel or know anything but that doesn't mean that death is not something to be scared of. The thing is that now you are alive you can be aware of what will be lost if you die. If you die none of the things you enjoy, feel or think about will ever be experienced again. I'm terrified of dying because that'll be it. None of the stuff ahead of me will be there any more just an empty void. You must truly hate your life if you would be fine with it suddenly stopping and you no longer experiencing anything any more. Don't you want to experience as much as you can?

I guess this relates to something I'd identify as something that has had a massive impact on my life and that would be that I was the one who found my dad's body when he died in the night of a heart attack when I was five. I guess I've been aware since of the fact that suddenly that can be it. Out of nowhere everything could be taken from you at any time before you're ready to be finished and that when someone dies that's it. Someone important to you can be gone from existence just from moment to moment. I spent the weekend over at my gran's house recently when she was dying too and again it's weird to mark that moment where someone who was a big part of your life has gone. With her it was slower too. On the friday she was conscious and knew she was going, Saturday she was on a morphine driver and so we could say things to her but she wasn't responding and then Sunday gone. Very weird being completely aware of each stage happening to someone who was a big part of your life from awake to unconscious to a body being in the room to an empty bed just over three days.

Sorry about your dad man

its actually a mash up of two mark twain quotes not me btw*

being prepared does not = wishing for it. The wishing for death thing is fucking retarded and insulting to people who's lives were cut short. The point is you should appreciate the life you have rather than think its something you think it owed to you or accept it as standard. Accepting that you can die at any time and therefore not fear it (as there is fuck all you can do therefore futile) and just do everything you want to as often as you can before the ride is up.

Dont get me wrong, Its not easy to accept though, most people don't even seriously consider their mortality until they reach their 30s+ or have a health scare, then you either face up to the fact or waste the rest of their life worrying about the inevitable which is far worse.

I've seen so many people die I'm kinda used to the idea of it and don't really fear it as much as others do.

Thankfully not, no, that would more be related to someone who is involved with sexual health. Most of that will be dealt with in clinics, etc, not generally in ward areas.

News footage of when the Berlin wall came down always hits me quite hard, I'll admit I don't know the details about the history of it but it's really touching to see people coming together and overcoming the barriers (in this case physical) which are often put between us by politicians/people in power.

[ultraspatial]

some of you guys sound like a bunch of pussies

[mIrReN]

given the topic of death lot's of thought and came to the conclusion that one should not worry because if they're dead you won't worry either + who knows what happens could be fun

nope

clouds have been surreal lately,
individually coloured, shaped and moved
they have personalities and souls.
Their presence seems to be a reminder
for me to look up and out,
to move unafraid towards distant horizons

the impending death of my father
makes each time I leave him,
farewelling the back of his white-haired head,
deeply significant.
One day soon, it will happen no more
and my world will change profoundly.
